  1. 2-1/2 Men? on At Issue In a Massachusetts Town, the Value of Two-Thirds · · Score: 1

    They must be seeing too much TV and watch 2-1/2 Men when they do watch TV.

  4. Next is Russia. on GoDaddy Follows Google's Lead; No More Registrations In China · · Score: 0

    China is bad, Russia is worst. Also I noticed a large amount of international (ie a .cn domain actually in .ru and vice-versa) and I wonder what anyone will do these. I seen all of these as links in spam messages when I do a check on the links within the messages.

    I'll be back.

  8. Patrick Barnes may have been /. on Rootkit May Be Behind Windows Blue Screen · · Score: 1

    Or did Patrick Barnes server crash because of this bug?
    I did access Patrick Barnes webpage earlier in this week, but today Friday February 12, 2010 there is no server and IP address to connect to. Any word from Patrick Barnes from other than his website? Did we /. his website out of existence?
    I read his webpage and he did put a solution on his webapge to detect and fix this but now the webpage is gone and now I wonder what happened to it.

  9. To Human is err. on Best Way To Clear Your Name Online? · · Score: 1

    It appears that you learned from your mistakes so you want to be a normal law abiding person now. The most important thing in that sentence is "learned from your mistakes", we are all human and learning from our mistakes is an important part of life and we should not held for minor infractions we did in our lives. People that "never" make mistakes when they were young will make them later in life and that is not a time to learn.
    Back to original subject of getting your name off the damned cached file servers around the world is tricky. As for the rest of the world, there are no treaties or regulations on this thing so the best way is to contact the local law enforcement, political and legal authorities where the file is located and find out what they can do to assist you. As for the USA, the ACLU or other legal help organizations can help you create an "cease and desist" order and have them forcefully remove those files.

  10. Rocket gone wild. on Gigantic Spiral of Light Observed Over Norway; Rocket To Blame? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Here is a well documented launch of an Minotaur rocket from Vandenberg AFB in 2005 which has some similarities:
    http://www.spacearchive.info/minotaur-streak.htm
    As for the spiral in I my opinion, depending on the perspective of the viewer relative to rocket you can see this pattern if you are looking at the exhaust end of the rocket and the rocket started to spin so that exhaust plume started to create a spiral. As the rocket lost total directional control, the rocket controller ordered a self-destruct so the sudden "hole" in the middle of the spiral as the rocket exhaust stops at the end of the event.
    Here is another link about rocket trails with an expert description http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap020926.html

  15. Use nuclear device to kill mouse. on MPAA Shuts Down Town's Municipal WiFi Over 1 Download · · Score: 1

    This is great example of "Using a nuclear explosion to kill a mouse". The keyword is singular mouse and not many mice.
    MPAA doesn't care about collateral damages and they sounds like a Dick Cheney and Don Rumfield method of war.

  16. This is just one plug of many on Plug vs. Plug — Which Nation's Socket Is Best? · · Score: 1

    The standard electrical power wall receptacle/plug (NEMA 5-15R/P) is one of many that NEMA and IEC specifies this shows only a single sample of an electrical power device which biases the whole story. I worked in England in a data center over there we had and they have several drawbacks on their higher voltage and amperage devices as standard device. However, most countries do use the IEC standard for their high voltage and amperage devices.

    Here are some of NAME "straight blade" devices:

  18. Gives a new meaning to "Chance of meatballs"... on Exoplanet Has Showers of Pebbles · · Score: 1

    and other things. I think this happens already in metal forges where metals that will evaporate at an lower temperature than other metals in the mix and form a layer on the cooler surfaces.

  19. Gives a new meaning to "rough coat" on Using Aluminum Oxide Paint To Secure Wi-Fi · · Score: 1

    Aluminum Oxide is also in sand paper and other abrasive mediums like anti-skid surfaces. Which grit size did they they use for this; 50, 100, 500, 1000?

  20. Re:close the door moron on Data Center Flood Captured By Security Cam · · Score: 1

    Like screen doors on a submarine.
    Glass doors and panels are designed withstand some wind and water but never this much mater. Standing water pressure is one thing but flood waters are moving so the extra pressure on the glass and frame they didn't anticipate must have collapsed the glass & frame and they still had street traffic which didn't help any.
    I don't know what building standards they have in Istanbul Turkey and what flood risk information they had before building this data center but obviously that doesn't work or they had no good information on.

  21. And other property... on Court To Scammer, "Give Up Your House Or Go To Jail" · · Score: 1

    Get all of his property, including anything off-shored (property, money & other stuff) and vehicles (car , boats & airplanes) that this moron has,
    The most important that they get the off-shored stuff since most criminals now, like companies, are off-shored so they can put these items into tax and legal havens so these people don't have to worry about tax or government garnishing these things.
    If the US is really smart, they should go after all these criminals so they can recoup lost of tax revenue that we, legal people pay for, and get those criminals really shaking in their boots.

  22. Took you that long... on Snow Leopard Missed a Security Opportunity · · Score: 1

    ASLR is needed to prevent malware from taking over a system from any source, user intentional install to cracker breaking into the system. Apple should have used ASLR in Snow Leopard as part of the securing system.

  23. Only Apple? on ASCAP Says Apple Should Pay For 30-sec. Song Samples · · Score: 1

    Every company that sells music either download or physical media has an sample of music they sell. Why don't they go after other companies like Amazon or Bestbuy. This sampling is necessary to find out which song you want before buying it since so many song have very obscure titles.
    This is just the greedy record companies being normally greedy.

  25. Re:OBD - On-Board Diagnostics on "Right To Repair" Bill Advances In Massachusetts · · Score: 1

    Correct. All manufactures agree to most emission and basic engine function code standards to satisfy local. state & federal emissions testing but for other functions all bets are off.
    I found that out when my car anti-lock brake processor module started to fail showed the idiot light on the dash. I plugged in my ODBII reader and it showed no fault codes. I contacted the 3rd party part outlet that I buy parts from said that most consumer bought ODBII readers can't read the those codes coming from that subsystem and said there are professional ODBII readers, which can cost thousands, that can read those codes as long they have the special codes from the manufacture. Nevertheless, I bought the anti-lock processor module and the anti-lock brake system works normally now.
    I wish that people that own consumer version of ODBII readers can obtain the manufactures unique codes for an reasonable price so people that technically inclined could fix their own cars when they wish.
